Overview

Visit the Caribbean’s most unspoilt islands and encounter the epitome of tranquillity. From the rustic small towns, laid-back lifestyle and breath-taking panoramas of St Kitts, to the historical landmarks, traditional sugar plantations and old-style charm of Nevis.

As an island still fairly untouched by tourism, St Kitts’ quaint allure stems from its unique heritage and agricultural legacies. As well as the usual long stretches of soft sandy beach and palm-studded shores, generic to the Caribbean, St Kitts is known for its quirky culture and sense of community. The island is steeped in history, having been colonised by both the British and French and is home to Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Just 2 miles east of St Kitts, the island of Nevis is primarily dominated by its 3232ft peak, creating stunning panoramic views across the Caribbean. Nestled amongst tropical landscapes and palm-studded shores, Nevis offers the ultimate in secluded retreats with the serene sands, rural mountain roads and cultured, rustic towns; this hidden gem is the region’s best kept secret.

The islands are super accessible, with is great air connections making it almost unforgivable not to visit them both at once! Our incredible twin-centre trip will see you spend 5 nights on bright and breezy St Kitts, before heading to the isolated island of Nevis for 5 nights of pure Caribbean culture. But if you think there's something missing, get in touch with our experts who can tailor your trip to meet your every need.

Top Tip: Rent a car in Nevis and set off on a ‘let's-see-what-we-find’ circular drive around the island. Don’t miss Montpelier Plantation and Hermitage & Golden Rock!

In the background you’ll find the scenic south-eastern peninsula with its beautiful beaches, natural harbours and salt ponds. The hotel boasts 3 swimming pools including the natural fantasy pool which features waterfalls and a Jacuzzi set in tropical gardens. The hotel operates the island’s famous, harbour side Fisherman’s Wharf restaurant which features a wide selection of seafood and meats grilled over coals as you watch.

The staff are attentive and friendly, on hand at all times to ensure your stay is relaxed and memorable. Serving as the island’s only historic plantation inn, holidays here are really something special.

Ottley’s Plantation

Situated on 35 acres, Ottley’s is a lovingly restored eighteenth century sugar plantation that has been repeatedly called "heaven on earth." At Ottley’s Plantation royal palms tower everywhere along with tropical rain forest paths, lush lawns and garden foliage.

St Kitts and Nevis does an excellent job in providing food for every occasion and for every budget. As well as cheap local specialities, such as goat water stew, there are also many fantastic high-class restaurants serving innovative menus including the open-air Mango at Four Seasons Resort on Nevis and the famous Royal Palm on St Kitts.

Drinking and Nightlife

Beach bars are a drinking mainstay here. Look out onto the blue waves, walk barefoot on the sand and try any number of the delicious cocktails available. It’s definitely worth trying the local Shipwreck Rum too.

Climbing and hiking

Hike your way to the top of the tallest peak on St Kitts; Mount Liamuiga offers a stunning view from the top and makes for a very different experience than your standard Caribbean holiday. This is really a nation where it pays to make the most of the natural beauty.

Volcanoes

Nevis Peak, a 3,232ft volcano shrouded by clouds and surrounded by active hot springs, provides an unforgettable backdrop for your island getaway. You could even join in on a guided hike to see its beauty up close - it's a tricky one, but certainly reaps incredible rewards.
